unknown, to whom Mr.. Conway insists
that the initiation and ratification of the

Europe. Indeed, number of works

THE ARREST OF A FIRE BUG.
Bob Fitton, the Terror of windsor County
Finally Lodged in Jail.

BELLOWS FALLS, June 4.-Bob Fitton,
the alleged fire bug, who has been re-
garded with fear for long time in this
locality, was arrested this morning at
Walpole, N. H. The charge upon which
the arrest is made is forgery, perjury and
contempt of court, committed in Windsor
county last January. In the endeavor to
recover from the custody Of the court Il
partially forged affidavit by a forged set
of papers placed by Fitton in the hands of
another officer, a scuf1le over their posses
sion was had between Fitton and County
| Clerk Pember, resulting in Fitton's get
ting possession and ut once disappearing
| into Canada, where he has remained
under the espionage of Sheriff Wallace
since.
Thursday of this week he ventured into
New Hampshire and to-day was secured
under requisition of Governor Ormsbee
upon Governor Currier, and is to-day be
ing taken to the Windsor county Jail
| The court being now in session there trial
may be had at once. Insurance companies
have for many years had a wholesome
dread of him, as he recently testified be
fore the United States Court that nine
different buildings owned by himself or
members of his family had been burned
within few years, and careful estimate
of the amount of insurance paid under
these fires placed the amount at between
$4,000 and 100000. For years insurance
companies have refused to insure him OF
any member of his family, but by strategy
and in various ways he succeeds in get
| ting it and the property burns.
A number of these fires have been IN
woollen mills and store houses and the
| insurance is in large amounts. The lates,
one was the Cambridgeport, VT, woollen
mill, August 25, 1888
| II. = a..
night that the contract of insurance was
completed by Fitton with the agents, and
the loss, amounting, with interest and
COSTS to about SIG, 500, was paid last year
after having been resisted by companies
till compelled by the courts to pay, they
being unable to prove fraud. Insurance
circles all through the United States and
many other sufferers by his crookedness
will rejoice at the prospect of his career
being stopped at least temporary.

Mourning for Mr.. WheeIer--Some
of his Recent Benefactions.
Especial to the Free Prcss.1
MALONE, June 4.-The death of ex-Vice
President William A. Wheeler was not
unexpected, and to him was not unwel-
come For some time his sufferings have
been severe, and he longed for rest. He
leaves no near relatives, and during his
last hours he could not have the solace
which tender affection alone can render.
A faithful nurse was his constant attend
ant, and his medical adviser, DR.. Theodore
Gay, was seldom absent from his side
during the last weeks of his life. He
leaves large property, which is disposed
of by a will. the contents of which is not
yet known. The town is drsped in mourn
ing Public places have flags at half
mast, and stores and business houses dis.
play the emblems of sincere esteem. He
was a great public benefactor. constantly
bestowing his means to help the poor and
needy, provided always that they
appeared worthy of his benefactions.
Just how much he has thus disposed of
has never been made public; 1t is known
that he has given $1,000 annually to home
and foreign missions and 800 annually to
the Belmont church. He gave $4,000 to
the Auburn Theological Seminary and
$780, 600 to the First Congregational church
of Malone. He gave $1,000 to the building
committee of St. Marks church of Ma
lone, and $1,000 to Chaplain McCabe, for
the Methodist church extension, and for
other interests near and dear to him he
has given without stint. He has made it
possible for many young men to go to
college or take course of study at the
seminary. To friends and relatives he
has been giving with the view of dlspos-
ing of portion of his estate while living
and while he could enjoy the pleasure of
assisting them. To an old friend of his
youth a struggling minister in the far
West, he recently sent check for $1,000
Since the death of his beloved wife IN 1873
Mr.. Wheeler has lived alone, with the eX-
cepton at short intervals when some rela-
tive, of which he has none nearer than
cousin, has been with him.

THE FISHERIES DISPUTE.
All Points at Issue but one Adj usted
Early Settlement Hoped for.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The following
has been give out at the state department
at is understood on undoubted authority
that the prospects for an early settlement
of the fisheries trouble are very bright.
For some months Secretary Bayard has
been bestowing Close attention upon this
subject, and has been in constant CORE
spondence with Lord Salisbury All
points at issue have now been
settled satisfactorily, with one excep-
ton, and this, it is confidently
hoped, will also be agreed upon in
a comparatively short time The point
upon which Secretary Bayard is now rest
ing, is that American fishing vessels shall
be permitted to touch at Canadian ports,
with the privileges of shipping crews and
purchasing bait, and indeed any other
purpose, but not to fish within the three
mile limit Lord Salisbury, so far, has
only conceded the right to put in for
wood, water, supplies and repairs. Prob
ably there will be some compromise of
these points"

REMARKS.

AS there had been felt for a long time IN
the town of Frederiksted the great want OF
school for boys for whom instruction Is
desired beyond what is offered by the Pubic
Free School there, such a school was opened
on the 1st of June this year, with Mr.. F.. B. u.
Moore as master. An examination OF the
school held by the Inspector has proved the
need of such a school by showing how
extremely poor the instruction OF most OF the
children has been before their entering the
school; while, on the other hand, the 'examl-
nation has shewn that there Is good reason
to hope that the school, under Nh. Moore,s
guidance, will in all essential points be able
to meet the want which has been felt.
The school numbers at present % pupils.
In accordance with the foregoing remarks
and on the representation of the School
Board, it is therefore proposed to grant, on
the Budget for the present year., the ABOVE
mentioned amount in aid of the school Tor
this year, in accordance with 5 5 l7-26 OF
the Ordinance of 7th May 1884 concerning
Schools and Public instruction in st. Crolx.
1t is proposed to make the amount granted
payable already from the month OF September,
because Mr.. Moore's monthly income from
the school is so small, that without public
support he will not be able to continue 1T.
Should the aid now proposed be granted
it is the intention of the Government to seek,
on the yearly Budgets, q like grant OF $4,000
per annum, in aid of the said school, provld-
ed that it continue to fulfil the conditions lad
down in the before mentioned paragraphs OF
the School Ordinance.
The matter was discussed within closed
doors according to the Rules Of Business,
and the Money Bill passed to End discussion.
The Order of Day was exhausted: the
meeting was closed at II o'clock P. m.

Q. Report from the Committee to revise
st. Croix Communal Accounts for

End Member for Frederiksted (LensmSngJ
said that he and the other Member (Lawyer
Wassard) appointed to revise the Communal
accounts for 1856 had gone through the
said accounts and had found them correct,
and it had been understood between himself
and the said other Member, who has since
retired from the Council, that they would re-
commend to the Council to pass the said
accounts as being correct, and which he now
recommended to the Council.

mittee's proposal was tacitly adopted.
